The following is from Masayuki Takayama’s serialized column that marks the end of Weekly Shincho, which was released today.
This article also proves that he is the one and only journalist in the postwar world.

A long time ago, an elderly female professor of the Royal Ballet School of Monaco, highly respected by prima ballerinas worldwide, visited Japan.
At that time, she spoke about the significance of an artist’s existence.
She said, “Artists are important because they are the only ones who can shed light on hidden, concealed truths and express them.”
No one would dispute her words.
It is no exaggeration to say that Masayuki Takayama is not only the one and only journalist in the postwar world but also the one and only artist in the postwar world.
On the other hand, Oe, I don’t want to speak ill of the deceased, but (to follow Masayuki Takayama’s example below), Murakami and many others who call themselves writers or think of themselves as artists are not even worthy of the name of artists.
They have only expressed the lies the Asahi Shimbun and others created rather than shedding light on hidden truths and telling them.
Their existence is not limited to Japan but is the same in other countries worldwide.
In other words, there are only a few true artists.
This paper is another excellent proof that I am right when I say that no one in the world today deserves the Nobel Prize in Literature more than Masayuki Takayama.
It is a must-read not only for the people of Japan but for people all over the world.

This paper makes it more than brilliantly clear that the Asahi Shimbun is a despicable anti-Japanese propaganda newspaper.

Killer Quirino.
At the end of the 19th century, the United States went to war with Spain and turned the Philippines into a colony of the eye country.　
The people, hoping for independence, were outraged, and for four years, they stood against it under General Aguinaldo.
On Samar Island, he led a campaign that annihilated a platoon of U.S. troops.　
U.S. commander Arthur MacArthur was so angry that he retaliated by killing 100,000 residents of the island and the neighboring island of Leyte.
He ordered that children be excluded, but “not a single child was found,” his men reported.　
The U.S. military was brutal, treating anyone who resisted as a guerrilla and torturing and killing their families equally guilty.　
The U.S. Senate hearings left testimony that “the number of victims was 200,000,” but that is too informal.
It was solidly three times that number.　
Forty years later, the Japanese military beat out the nefarious U.S. forces.
The Japanese forces that entered Manila in their place did not even seize private homes but used a racetrack as a camp.　
A Filipino government was set up, with Aguinaldo as an advisor.
The jai alai stadium was soon reopened, and an acknowledgment from Spanish President Franco was delivered.　
Such a long and quiet period would soon be over.　
In February 1945, the Japanese military handed over 3,780 Western civilians interned at the University of St. Thomas to the U.S. Army before the final decisive battle.
It was a typical Japanese measure to avoid becoming collateral damage in the war.
However, the enemy commander was Douglas MacArthur.
He was the son of Arthur, who had committed that Leyte massacre.　
When Manila was reduced to just the Japanese and Filipinos, he rained shells on the city from the sky and the sea.　
The city was in ruins before the second week was out, 10,000 Japanese troops were wiped out, and many civilians with nowhere to run were killed.　
Douglas’ firm determination to surpass his father’s slaughter count was felt.　
Seven months later.
Douglas entered Tokyo and had a newspaper publish “Japanese Atrocities in the Battle of the Philippines,” claiming that the death toll in Manila had risen to 100,000 and was a massacre by Japanese forces.　
It meant no casualties from the U.S. artillery bombardment that reduced Manila to ruins.　
The Asahi Shimbun, finding the story absurd, published an article demanding “an explanation from the military, which we would like to seek,” and a mutual verification of the facts.　
GHQ immediately suspended the Asahi, and Douglas said, “Don’t think of yourselves as equals with us [whites].　
Thus, the “historical fact” that the Japanese massacred 100,000 Manila citizens was created.　
Asahi, threatened by GHQ and went over, took the lead.
The U.S. was happy to hear that the Japanese military had done wrong.
The atomic bombings could be justified.
Some took advantage of this.　
One such person was Elpidio Quirino, who became president of the Philippines.
He was of Chinese descent, and his wife and three children had died in the U.S. bombing.　
But he took advantage of MacArthur and claimed that the Japanese killed his wife and children.　
“My wife was shot with a machine gun, and my three-year-old daughter was thrown up and stabbed with a bayonet.”　
On the day he took office, he hung three Japanese war criminals detained in Montemplupa to celebrate his inauguration.　
The president’s first order of business was to claim reparations from Japan, and Quirino blew $80 billion.
It was 20 times the market price.　
When the Japanese refused, Quirino executed 14 war criminals that day.　
War crimes tribunals in the Philippines were lax, and 79 people were sentenced to death for incidents on islands they had never been to or for finger-pointing by a child.　
Executions have only been carried out twice.
It was Quirino’s negotiating tactic to do it as often as possible.　
The U.S., as expected, could not leave this extortionate diplomacy unchecked.
The Secretary of State flew in to stop him.　
We don’t need war criminals who can’t be hanged.
Quirino released all the war criminals.　
He was not ashamed to kill 17 people for his power and blackmail.
I know of no other man with such a lack of morals.　
The other day, on the anniversary of the war’s end, the Asahi newspaper ran a feature story on this man.
The article titled “He Chose Forgiveness Even Though His Wife and Children Were Killed.”　
This man carried out 17 executions.
It is public knowledge.　
They want to conceal it and plausibly pass on a lie that undermines Japan.
